microcontroller flash memory question
In researching different microcontrollers on different sites, one made the
staement that their microcontroller can be re-programmed up to about 1000 times. Sounds like alot at first, but it you are trying 10-20 programs a day (experiments from a book with your own variations, etc) then that does not give one more than several months of use until the microcontroller might need replacing. I have seen this mention of 1000 reprogramings on only one site. Is this as limit of this specific microcontroller, or are all microcontrollers like this and simply dont mention it? I understand that flash memory has a limited number of rewrites. There are articles about how digital camera flash memory cards can be (re-)used about 10,000 times. Although some manufactures say that their cards can be re-used one million times. I am considering getting the Basic Stamp "board of education" kit. It seems pretty complete, kit wise, and seems well documented. Henry |
